Sun River Health Inwood — Local services in New York

I had a preliminary meeting with a counselor at Brightpoint. I met with a petite Spanish counselor, whose name escapes me. In the meeting I expressed that I was there for a psycho-social and a psych eval. The meat of the conversation was then broached which was about a stalker. She stepped out. Shortly thereafter Chinese male nurse, Kim to come talk to me, at which time he expressed that he wanted to see me safe and therefore have me go into a hospital and come back. My interaction with nurse Kim has only been five minutes in total the two times that we've met, during which time I assessed that he was rushed, impersonal. Neither health care professionals had insight into me, my personality. Kim established that they weren't sure if they believed that I was being stalked. He then repeated that I need to go to the hospital and then come back to them. I was still unclear as to what they were saying and why. The fact that they gave no room for the truth ( my reality) was upsetting for me; but I diplomatically laughed, then got up to leave. At which time he asked me where I was going. I said I'm leaving. At that time Kim told me that they had already called the ambulance for me. I could not believe it!!!! There was nothing emotive about my communications with them to lead them to believe that I was out of control, or in danger of hurting myself or someone else. Further, they didn't ask me any kind of questions about the incident. And even more incredulous was the fact that they didn't consult me to ask me if I thought that I needed that kind of help. To establish my history: so as to ensure that I am of sound mind: I am new to psych medication as of 2 years ago. I have no history of paranoia or delusions. I walked out of the door. They called security and other staff to secure me, they surrounded me. I let let them know that I'm not going nowhere and that they need to move out of my way. Never at any point of my interaction with them yelled at anyone, but I asserted myself, intently. I left the building, later to engage police, who after I explained the situation, admitted to me that they didn't understand why they were called by Brightpoint. They told me that I needed to confront this situation with the precinct where I live, which is what I had already done. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth about going to a psychiatrist now much less Brightpoint. I will never go to Brightpoint health and I will discourage people They didn't even offer me outside resources like Safe Horizon, other than hospitalization. They just jump to conclusions based on NOTHING I provided, and certainly not science; but rather prejudice and skewed judgement. I'm considering suing Brightpoint, because how dare they presume that I need to be hospitalized before adequately assessing me for less than 20 minutes and I had no emotional outbursts. Emphasis is placed on, combined, I've met these two people less than 20 minutes. I have no history of being delusional. In fact, after they told me that they didn't believe me basically, my closing statement to them was "I could not be delusional because I'm a six foot 2 woman, living in a body that is very bold and a personality that's even bolder so how could I possibly, at 47 years old, now "become" delusional? At which the counselor lady, laughed. I am overwhelmed now. And my feelings are extremely hurt because I am a woman being victimized by a stalker and now I am being victimized by a system that's supposed to listen to me vent. That's not what they were doing. I was told me that they said I intimidated them! By what? By my immense size or the stature of my intelligence? I never yelled or threatened anyone. So if they were intimidated, that is for them to examine, not for me to examine, nor cowar. I want to be clear that my chief concern was I am being stalked. How would a hospital visit benefit me? Although I am not going back to Brightpoint, I am writing this to ensure that no one else falls victim to them, and to begin legal liability...

As we grapple with the importance of healthcare in our society, there are a few places that stand as stark reminders of what not to do. Sunriver Health Medical Facilities is one such example. It isn't just a disappointment; it's an egregious insult to the profession.

The first thing you'll notice when you walk into Sunriver Health is that it's running on fumes. The under-staffing issue is so dire that tumbleweeds might as well be rolling through the hallways. The handful of staff members present appear as lost and overwhelmed as the patients they are supposed to be serving. It's akin to an undercooked sitcom where the punchline has been lost in translation, leaving only a hollow shell of what should have been a professional health care facility.

Moreover, it would be a grave error to refer to the people working at Sunriver Health as "medical professionals". The term implies a degree of professionalism, ethical conduct, and respect for the sanctity of human health – none of which can be found within Sunriver's sterile, unwelcoming walls. The whispers of prescription medications being sold to addicts is not just a rumor, but a chilling reality. This isn't a healthcare facility; it's a macabre bazaar trading in the currency of human suffering.

The lack of respect that permeates the atmosphere is, perhaps, the most disturbing aspect of Sunriver Health. There is a bitter irony in the fact that a place meant to heal is instead fostering an environment of disdain and disregard. The staff and patients alike seem to be caught in a vortex of disrespect, creating a toxic ambiance that belies the very essence of healthcare.

In the end, Sunriver Health is not a medical facility; it's a disheartening spectacle of what happens when healthcare becomes a farce, an underfunded sideshow with a disturbing underbelly. It's a legal trap house masquerading as a health institution, a place where your well-being is less important than their bottom line.

In good conscience, I cannot recommend Sunriver Health to anyone. There are better options out there, places where health is not just a buzzword, but a mission. Let's hope that Sunriver Health either drastically changes its ways or fades into oblivion, serving as a cautionary tale for future...
